Virtual Quilting Weekend—New Years Eve and New Years Day
Welcome to our special VQW 😄. I hope some of you are able to join me this weekend. I have a couple projects in mind that I would like to finish. And I plan to undecorate and take down two trees tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully that doesn’t take too long as I have a queen sized quilt to trim and bind. I swore to myself that quilt would be bound by the end of the year!
Next regular VQW is January 12-15, 2024.

I’m in. I plan to put the never ending r/w/black top, etc on my long arm. If my backing fabric is long enough I will start quilting the top tomorrow. Otherwise I will quilt it on Tuesday. Tomorrow I want to follow/participate on a long arm QAL whole cloth mystery and start a quilt top sewing QAL mystery with cut and bolts. Then on Monday I will follow along and start the rob and Stephanie NYD mystery QAL. I will be monitoring 2 other mysteries to see if I want to make them later in the year. I know seems like a lot, but I will probable finish the taps later in the year. I also plan to watch feetball (football) off and on all weekend.

Wishing everyone a happy New Year's Eve and may all your quilting wishes come true in 2024!

Must admit that I'm not sewing this weekend, but cleaning out and selling off some of my fabric on Facebook. I simply needed some breathing room and knew I could never use it all. I''be back to sewing again sometime near the end of January.

I've worked on stencilling more pillows the last two days, 38 done, they are ready to sew fronts to backs now. I am planning on working on those this evening and tomorrow. Will check in later to see what everyone is working on. Happy New Year and happy sewing everyone.

I’m in! I am making three QOV for DH and 2 of his DBs (DH is unaware of what I’m doing). The pattern I’m using is Fons and Porter’s Three Tours for all of the quilts. Loved the pattern since it came out. Have all the fabric but one and it will be here Tuesday so I’m cutting and marking squares for flying geese.

Happy New Year to all! I've been marking my flimsy with washable marker using a loopy stencil. It is tedious, so I take lots of breaks. Also working on kaleidoscope quilt that I took to monthly sewing day because I want to start a new one.
Love that jacket!
